COMBINATION CURTAIN AND SHADE HOLDER.

Application filed July 19, 1924- Serial No. 726,945.

The main object of this invention is to provide a curtain and shade holder deslgned as a unit. The design of this holder has adacters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawing.

Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevational view of one unit of the curtain and shade holder.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the same.

Figure 8 is a cross sectional view taken intermediate the length of the device and in front of the curtain holder.

Figure 4: is a frontelevational view of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the shade holder per se. 7

Figure 6 is a fragmentary perspective View of a window frame showing the appli cation of the curtain and shade holder.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates a bar which is circular in cross section and has its rear end provided with threads 11 which readily enter wood or material of similar composition. The opposite end is rip-turned at 12 to form a vertical stud 13, the latter being adapted to register in the openings which are usually provided at the ends of curtain poles, said poles not being illustrated. It is to be noted that the drawings illustrate one unit only, but it is to be understood that a pair of these units are required for supporting the ends of both the curtain pole and shade, that is, one left and one right are required, the left unit being shown on the drawing. A pair of aligned ears 14; and 15 extend outwardly from one side of the bar 10 and are integral with the latter. Openings are provided in the ears and in these holes the ends of a threaded spindle 16 is rotatably mounted which is threaded the entire length between the ears 14 and 15. A reduced extension 17, part of the spindle, extends from the ear 15 and has its end pro vided with a knurled knob 18 which projects somewhat beyond the stud 13.

A plate 19 serves as the means for sup porting the shade and is provided with an irregular slot 20 which is entered by the end of the shade from the side of the plate. The latter is provided with an inverted saddle 21 at its upper edge which is formed by a return bend from which a side 22 extends downwardly. A lug 23 extends outwardly from the side 22 and is provided with a threaded opening 2a which cooperates with the spindle 16 by engaging the same. The channel 25 formed by the saddle 21 receives the bar 10 and is slidably mounted on the latter.

The curtain and shade holder unit is mounted on the upper corners of the frame of a window by screwing the threads 11 into the window frame. The curtain pole may be directly mounted on the stud 13 and the draperies may then be fixed on the curtain 1 pole. In mounting the shade between the plates 19 of adjacent units, it may be found that the roller of the shade is too far away from the curtain pole for desirable results. The distance between the irregular slot 20 and the stud 13 may be varied, thus shiftmg the position of the roller with respect to the curtain pole. This shiftng is accomplished by rotating the knurled knob 18 in the required direction, that is, when it is de sired to move the plate 19 nearer to the stud 13, the knob 18 is rotated in one direction and when desiring to move further away from the stud 13, reverse rotation of the knob 18 is made. By rotating this, the spindle 16 which is engaged by the lug 23, the entire saddle 21 and plate 19 is moved longit-udinally on the bar 10 between the ears 1a and 15.

I claim 1. In a device of the class described, a horizontal bar having an up-turned end, a plate, a saddle on said plate, said saddle be- 1ng adapted to receive the bar slidably, a lug on the side of said plate having a thread ed opening therein, a pair of spaced apart ears on said bar, a threaded spindle rotatably mounted in said ears and cooperating with said lug, said spindle being mounted in fixed position, said spindle when rotated being adapted to shift the plate member longitudinally on the bar, and means for rotating said spindle.

2. In a device of the class described, a horizontal bar having an up-turned end, a plate, a saddle on said plate, said saddle being adapted to receive the bar slidably, a lug on the side of said plate having a threaded opening therein, a pair of spaced apart ears on said bar, a threaded spindle rotatably mounted in said'ears and cooperating with said lug, the latter being movable be- 19 side thespindle, said 'spindle when rotated being adapted to shift the plate member longitudinally on the bar, said spindle having an extended end which projects beyond the up -turned end of the bar, a knurled knob fixed to said extension and being adapted to rotate said spindle to adjust the position of the plate member with respect to the upturned end of the bar.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
